The Alabama Hills Scenic Area, located near Lone Pine, California, offers a stunning landscape of weathered granite formations set against the dramatic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada, including Mount Whitney. This unique and rugged terrain has made the area a favorite filming location for Hollywood for over a century.

More than 400 movies and television shows have been shot here, including classic Westerns starring John Wayne, Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry, as well as modern productions like Iron Man, Django Unchained, and Gladiator. Visitors can explore the Movie Road, hike among the rock formations, and enjoy breathtaking views that have captured the imagination of filmmakers and adventurers alike.

I always expect to see a stage coach come rambling around one of the corners.
